Delicious - this was a hit with my family. I especially liked that it baked in the amount of time the recipe said. (I've always had trouble with other recipes with the potatoes not being done.)

I used 3/4 cup montery jack cheese, and 1/2 cup asiago which created a tangy flavor to the potato. I also added 1 tsp.white pepper and 1 tsp garlic powder to give it a kick. Sampling the cheese sauce itself was almost enough for me. Try topping it with Frenches fried onions.

I made a few adjustments and it turned out very tasty! I did double the cheese sauce which was a little more than I needed. I added 4 minced garlic gloves and a pinch of white pepper to the sauce as others had stated it lacked a little spice. I used fresh cauliflower that I cooked for a couple minutes first. Lastly, I crushed up some garlic cheese croutons for the top. Yummmy!

This was really good. Only made a couple of changes, which was to omit the onion (personal preference), to divide the cheese sauce into two portions, one of which I poured over just the potato layer, and the other I poured over the top as per the recipe, and I used breadcrumbs instead of corn flakes. Was a little on the salty side due to the ham, so next time wont add any additional salt, but was tasty and will make again.

Great Great Great Meal. Used All different kinds of left over cheeses from the fridge to make the cheese sauce. We used fresh Cauliflower instead of frozen, and DIDN'T pre-steam it. Did have to cook for an extra 30mins because we doubled the recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly except I slightly increased the milk and cheese to make sure there was enough sauce. I didn't put any ham in it. This was worthy of the name "best". We all loved it!

This was a yummy recipe. I did make a few changes. I thought Swiss cheese was too potent and used shredded cheddar cheese, which I already had on hand. I also had some leftover beef summer sausage from Christmas that I used instead of ham. I think most meats would work.

This was delicious but I only gave it 4 stars because of the cooking time. It took almost 2 hours for the potatoes to get soft enough (and even then a few in the middle were a little hard). I made this for dinner, and we couldn't wait any longer to eat. I used a blend of cream cheese, ricotta and mozzarella, because that's what I had on hand. After all the waiting though, it was very tasty. Maybe next time I need to use a bigger pan so that the potatoes can spread out more.

It was awful. It said to put the cheese sauce on top. I did that and that is were it stayed. It was awful. Had to toss it. I had company and was so embarrassed. Thank goodness it was just a family member.

Love the taste, but I will change a few things for next time. I will dice the potatoes instead of slicing them(make it easier for the kids and us to eat!) I will also double the sauce and make it cheesier(it doesn't seem to be enought sauce, especially when it is reheated for leftovers!) and I will also tack on 20 minutes of cooking time, as the potatoes were not done by following the times given(my oven even runs hot!) I did substitute half whole wheat flour for half of the all purpose flour and also added 2 tablespoons of soy flour for protein(which worked out wonderfully). Once the potatoes were done, it was a yummy meal! My family wasn't too happy about the extra wait time though....

It's just ok. If I were to ever make it again I would omit the onions and make a richer cheese sauce.

Definatley comfort food! I used fresh cauliflower and small potatoes and the cooking time was about 15 minutes less. Next time instead of ham I'll try broccoli for the veggies in the family. So good, but this makes more like five or six servings in my house not the 10 that the recipe claims.

The name says it all--The best!! I made the cheese sauce with half and half and doubled the spices. From other reviews I sauced and seasoned each layer of potatoes with Mrs. Dash and combined the rest of ingredients with reserved sauce before pouring all over the potato layers. I added mushrooms and chopped ham to the cauliflower and onions. I used one head fresh cauliflower. I will definately make this again and again! My husband wouldn't let me take it to work for a pot-luck, it was that good. Thanks!!

I adapted this recipe to use small red potatoes, red onion, margarine, skim milk, and fat free cheddar cheese. It cut out about 100 calories, 90 fat calories, and 6 saturated fat. However I used less ham as 4oz looked to be enough when mixed in with everything else. My husband and I both enjoyed this and will try again but with more cheese, seasoning, and cauliflower. This was filling enough to eat just for dinner.

This was a good and hearty casserole. I used broccoli instead of cauliflower for the added vitamins. I also use red-skinned yellow potatoes because that's what I had on hand, and precooked the slices some since they are a more dense potato. Since a couple other reviewers mentioned that the cream sauce doesn't melt downward, I layered the sauce in three times between the potatoes and meat and the meat and broccoli (and then on top). The sauce recipe is a great consistancy and makes a good amount, but next time I will add more flavoring to it - salt, pepper, garlic, and maybe some other herbs. A person could easily substitute other meats or cheeses for different flavors (or whatever is on hand!) Would make a good breakfast casserole too, in my opinion!

THIS IS PRETTY GOOD. I WILL DEFINATELY MAKE IT AGAIN. I WAS OUT OF FLOUR SO I USED CORN STARTCH INSTEAD. I USED 4 TBSP OF IT, STILL TOO THICK. NEXT TIME I WILL ONLY USE 1 OR 2. ALSO, I LAYERED THE POTATOES AS DIRECTED, BUT I SHOULDVE SEASONED THEM AS I LAYERED THEM. NEXT TIME I WILL WITH SALT, PEPPER, GARLIC, AND ONION POWDER. IF THEY WERE MORE SEASONED I THINK IT WOULDVE GOTTEN 5 STARS. THEY WERE ALSO A BIT UNDER COOKED. I ALSO THREW IN A PACK OF SLICED MUSHROOMS BEFORE I PUT THE CAULIFLOWER ON. THEY WERE VERY GOOD ON THERE AS WELL. MY HUSBAND WHO DOESNT EVEN LIKE HONEY BAKED HAM, LOVED THIS RECIPE. HE EVEN WISHED THERE WAS MORE HAM IN IT. I ALSO TOPPED IT WITH THE FRIED ONIONS. VERY GOOD!!!!!
